At WONCA Europe, we strongly support the implementation of gender-neutral Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs. As a leading organization representing family doctors across Europe, we recognize the vital role of comprehensive public health strategies in ensuring the well-being of all individuals, regardless of gender.
- Proven effectiveness – Countries that have adopted gender-neutral HPV vaccination have seen significant reductions in HPV infections and related diseases.
- Community-wide protection – Expanding vaccination to all genders helps break the chain of transmission and reduces HPV-related cancers.
- Health equity – Everyone deserves protection from HPV, and inclusive vaccination policies promote fairness in healthcare.
We urge policymakers, healthcare providers, and public health organizations to take the lead in making gender-neutral HPV vaccination a reality. Together, we can build a healthier future for all.
We proudly support the efforts of Global Action on Men's Health, and NOMAN is an Island in advocating for gender-neutral HPV vaccination. Their dedication to this cause has been instrumental, and we are pleased to share a key document they have prepared.
